Dealing with the OW
Dealing with the OW
Taking a moment to vent here:
He's deleted from my FB. I'm getting better at not checking his page. I haven't had contact with him for months. It still hurts, but I can deal with that.
What's driving me insane is his latest floozy, who seems compelled to comment on the posts of every mutual friend he and I still share, so even though we're not FB friends, she shows up in my news feed. I can't get away from her.
In a lot of ways, I can almost see desperation in what she's doing. It doesn't matter how insignificant the post - she feels the need to chime in on every single one of them. It's blatant. It's like she wants to be noticed, and like she thinks as long as she's RIGHT THERE, in with his friends, in with his family, HE can't get away from her.
I couldn't stand her to begin with, even before he and I were defunct. Now the sight of her in my news feed, when I'm just minding my own business with MY OWN FB FRIENDS, makes my skin crawl. I keep picturing him with her, and I can't stand it. It's not like I'm even seeking her out - I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing and staying away from his life. SHE'S bringing that life BACK into MINE, and there's nothing I can do about it.
Under any other circumstances, I would feel sorry for her, this grown woman who seems incredibly insecure. This is junior high crap, what she's doing. It's sad. Unfortunately, my ego is sort of feeling junior-high-ish. She's making me feel horrible. She was with him after me. For all I know, she still is, and I'm not up for having that visual reminder shoved in my face every time I turn on my computer.
Advice on how to cope?
